It was 6:50am on Saturday 18th October, and the first shards of daylight were a good 30 minutes away when I fired up the Daytona to head out the 2014 edition of the Journées d'Automne. Regular readers will recall my wife Danielle and I attended this fabulous event in 2013, although we did have some mechanical problems…

The Zenos E10 is a new lightweight British sports car that's soon to be competing with the Caterham Seven and Ariel Atom. It's also a hugely exciting project for a new British car company, and we think it's going to be a big hit.

With the summer drawing to a close, it's time for an update of what the Daytona has been up to over the summer months. The mild weather has meant that the car has had a reasonable amount of use, and not just for driving to events but also just for getting out and about.

Since the tender age of eight, Kalle Rovanperä has been learning to drive rally cars as quickly as possible through the forests of Finland. Now 13-years-old, we have video of him doing just that in his Citroen C3 rally car and scaring the bejesus out of a hapless passenger in the process.

Project CARS is the type of racing game people like us would make if we knew how to make video games. "We all love different types of cars. I myself drive Ford Mustang in real life," says Project CARS Creative Director Andy Tudor. Andy and the rest of the Slightly Mad Studios team are based in London, where Mustangs…

Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas is an amazing exhibit currently at the Atlanta High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia that puts on display some of the most famous and influential concept cars of the last 80 years. Everything from the space age inspired designs of Harley Earl to low-slung, angular…

In the late sixties, Can-Am's rising popularity was showing no sign of let-up and, as a result, even Porsche was considering building a car to the essentially limitless Group 7 regulations. But where to begin? Considering the 1969 World Sports Car Championship had already been successfully wrapped up, and its new 917…

Ferrari made 36 250GTOs (plus three or four more with 4 litre engines), between 1962 and 1964. Few people have driven them and even fewer can say they have actually owned one. In fact, if we assume each of the 250s has had five owners, that's 180 people who have had their names on the log book. Stephen Mitchell is one…

In a former life I used to write about mountain bikes, specifically bikes designed for a subset of mountain biking called 'trials', where riders use balance, strength and precision to make their way over and across obstacles. These bikes were used by the likes of Hans Rey, Martyn Ashton and more recently a Scots lad…

The 2014 running of the Tour Auto starts on Monday. The annual French completion sees classic cars complete in a mix of races, rally stages and road sections across France. This year the event starts in Paris and runs for five days, finishing in Marseille on the 12th.

The relatively mild spring has seen the Daytona back on the road after its winter overhaul. The first reasonable journey was the familiar route down to Goodwood for the 72nd Members Meeting. I hadn't originally planned on taking the Daytona but the combination of mild weather and confirmation that the car parks were…

According to a new chart published by the Economist, using information gathered by Sanford C. Bernstein, the Volkswagen group lost a staggering €4.6 million for each of the 357 Bugatti Veyrons it sold between 2005 and 2013. That combines for a total loss of €1.7 billion. When you look at it that way, it almost makes…

I’ve been a fan of racing games for just about my entire life and it’s one of the biggest reasons why I’ve come to love cars and racing as much as I do. It started with Pole Position on the Atari in the early 80s, and continued with Rad Racer on the original Nintendo Entertainment System a few years later. These days,…

Genuine Porsche356 Speedsters in good condition are routinely trading hands for as much as $200,000 these days. Unless your name is Ralph Lauren, then cars that old and valuable don’t really lend themselves to the daily driver or even weekend toy categories.
